Highwaymen at Their Work..

We made mention last week of a farmer
being attacked by three negroes who de-
manded his money, etc. The same parties
are still at large and continue in their thiev-
ish work. On Thursday night last they
broke into the smoke house of Mr.. Andy
Gillian, beyond the county poor house, and
took therefrom ninety pounds of -four nine
pounds of bacon, pies, apples and other
articles. On the following night they en-
tered the garden of Mr.. erich" Talley, near
the same place, and cut 20 heads of fine
cabbage. The same evening they stopped
adother countryman, from whom they got
81 90 : all the money he had in his posses
sion. Another gentleman was stopped by
them but, he being armed, they were soon
frightened away.
These facts are given our reporter from a
reliable source, and we do think some action
should be taken by the citizens of the imme-
diate neighbsrhood to put stop to the dew
| to learn Of their being captured. For such
parties as these we think the elegant apart
ments at the State penitentiary and the zebra
clothes are the very thing.

Death of q Remarkable Woman.

Mrs. Fannie Carmichael, an aged but
highly esteemed lady of Statesville, died in
that place ON Monday of last week. The
Landmark says she was born near Brier
Greek, Wilkes county, May 10Th, 1895, and
was therefore in her 93rd year when she
died. Having been born during the second
presidential term of George Washington,
she had lived under every administration
the country has ever had, from Washing
toms to Cleveland's inclusive. Mrs. Carmi-
chael was the mother of ten children and
outlived her family by Is years. Left wild
owed and childless, her last years were
spent with her son-in-law and daughter
in-law, DR.. and Mrs. Harrill, who cared
for her with flial tenderness and smooth
ed her pathway to the grave. She was a
woman of large intelligence, and being a
great reader, few men are as well inform
ed as she was in politics and upon current
questions. At her request, she was buried
by the side of her husband in old Brier
Creek Church graveyard.

The Temperance Picnic.

x
According to announcement, the Twin
City and Union Grove Reform Clubs, to-
gether with other temperance advocates,
had their picnic last Saturday at what is
commonly called the cold Hairston Reid
place." now owned by Mr.. w. f. Spach.
The place is known by all our Twin City
people and is very attractive as picnic
ground.
The picnic was largely attended, the
crowd numbering some 25O people, and ev-
erybody had good time. cold men, old
women, young boys and young girls seemed
to be one" said highly elated pic-nicer,
'tfor they all participated in social games.
The Older boys Joined the younger boys
in pitching horse shoes, playing marbles !,
and any other game that might be mention
ed. The rain disturbed us from our out
door games, but as luck would have it, we
had already eaten dinner, and we took ref
uge in the large barn, which Mr.. Spach
kindly opened for US. We are under many
obligations to Mr.. S. for the many courtesies
shown us throughout the day"
These were the words of our inform ant,
whom we think was not only attracted by
the picnic but-(but we were cautioned not
to tell tales out of SCHOOL, During the rain,
short but edifying addresses were made by
Rev. DIR. Burkhead, Maj. 10. A. Barham
and Others and together with vocal and
Instrumental music, the hours glided swiftly
and pleasantly by.
Our Reform Clubs Especially the Union
Grove are to be commended, not only for
the picnic, but for their energetic labo1s in
endeavorins to reform those of their fellow
men who have fallen by the use of strong
| drink. Their labors have been crowned
with success and THE SENTINEL bids the
two clubs God-speed in their noble work of
| reformation.
The Union Grove Club speak of giving
another picnic and festival at their Chapel
some time in the near future.

these things are being sent to citizens Of

Savings Bank.

Savings Bank.
Last week we said several gentlemen had
expressed their willingness to take stock in
Savings Bank. Still they come-this
week we have talked over the matter with
several more gentlemen and now there are
no less than eight who have signified their
approval of the plan and have promised to
take stock. The town is ready fer it and
we believe, with good, solid man as presi-
dent and clear-headed business man as
cashier, that capital stock of $25, 900 could
be easily secured.
There are a number of men on fair sala-
ries in the town who would take small
amounts of stock and there are one or two
of comparatively large means who have al
ready expressed themselves as ready and
willing to embark in the enterprise. All
we now need is little more canvassing, a
few explanations and then we may open
the books. THE SENTINEL would be- glad
to have the citizens express themselves
upon this subject through its columns.

The Fire Eiend

About one o'clock yesterday the wild
clangor of the bell caused our citizens to
rush towards the second ward, where they
found the stables of Mr.. G. w. Hinshaw
all ablaze. The fire companies came and,
after short delay for the purpose of getting
up steam, they put out the fire, which had
already destroyed the stables, and an out
house on the lot owned by DIR. Brown and
occupied by T. w. Parrish. Fortunately the
horses and carriages were out and about the
only thing lost of value, besides the build
ings, was a lot of feed. The loss was about
$500 each to Mr.. G.. w. Hinshaw and DIR.
Brown. Without such efficient fire eompa-
mics there would have been tremendous
fire, everyth ing being dry and Mr.. Parrish s
residence already smoking. AS to the ORR
gin of the fire, up to the hour of going to
press, we learned nothing positive, it being
generally believed that it was the work of
an iucendiary.

greeted them. A handsome collection was
taken up for the benefit of the Asylum.
